After painting my buddy's Shamrock/Transformers stampede and my daughter's Music Bug Stampede, another friend asked me to paint him a military style 57 Chevy for his Stampede 4x4. He is an avid Call of Duty fan and only asked for a helmet image and the white star. I loaded him up with skulls, bullet holes, Call of Duty logos and Cover images as well as his screen name Corbin and military serial stencils. Hope you like it.

Alright here is my Stampede converted to Rustler 4x4. Two different bodies I made. It has a Duratrax Element 3900kv system by Castle. Team Orion 4600 30c 2s Lipo hard case. A few STRC aluminum upgrades including the motor plate and mount, 12mm hexes and shock caps. Front and rear braces are from HR. Proline Bowtie tires and Torque wheels. 14 tooth pinion stock spur. Runs about 130 degrees on the road. I have a set of Jato anaconda's for it also but I can tell you they do not hook up well at all! Bowties work much better.

Mazda Miata Stampede 4x4

My latest addition. What I think may be the first ever Mazda Miata Stampede 4x4! I went with a lightning & carbon fiber theme. Turned out okay. I did have some problems with airbrushing some of the lightning, but am thinking I may need to go with thinner lacquer based paints next time. The faskolor paints just don't seem to want to give me that thin line I am looking for without spidering. Oh well. Hope you enjoy these pics.

Aside from R/C Cars, my other passion is my workouts, so this time I thought I would pay homage to the workouts I've done over the past couple of years. I have completed P90X, Insanity, Insanity:The Asylum and now P90X2. I decided to do a Beachbody themed paint job on my Proline F150 SVT Raptor. Enjoy Tony Horton, Shaun T. and Carl Daikeler!

The first body I did for my Stampede VXL 4X4

Mods include motor heat sink, ESC fan cooler, VG Racing springs, Slash sway bar kit, ProLine SVT Raptor body. I use it to exercise my Doberman pup who's geared for 30 mph. He gets it pretty hot trying to stay ahead of him on our 100 ft. long course, so I had to beef it up a bit. The body didn't come out exactly per the original plan, but I learned a lot for the next time and I like how it looks. I cut out the rear window to let any hot air and wheely air out. Also, hand made rear roll bar to protect the rear end on top slides I know will happen!
